Weekly Question: Which is your Favourite Turris Overtime Goal?

Two Great OT Winners Versus the New York Rangers

When you think of the Ottawa Senators teams from the 2010s, the fist names that come to mind are likely Erik Karlsson, Mark Stone, and Craig Anderson — but not too far behind the big three is a group that includes Kyle Turris.

Now that he’s retired, it feels like a good time to look back at the best moments from his time in Ottawa.

But the other OT winner has the added bonus of coming in a series that the Sens ended up winning, and further was part of the magical 2017 run:

So, which is it Sens fans? Maybe you were at one of the games? Maybe you have a particularly vivid memory from the celebration after the fact? Let us know in the comments below.
